Yes, in the original code the minimum length was based on the (English) 
resourcestring length.
I don't know anything about the translation process, or at what stage in 
the IDE initialization captions are replaced with translated 
resourcestrings.
Is there a standard notification, or other means to respond to a 
different-length translated string and force a repaint?
Ondrej introduced an overridden TextChanged method, but this seems not 
to be called at the moment it is needed for the translated strings, 
because for this it clearly has no effect.
